Avoid Overhead Power Lines

The machine is not insulated, stay away from overhead
obstructions and power lines when staging implements.
Electrocution can occur without direct contact. Contact local
authorities or utilities to obtain safe clearance distances from
high voltage power lines.
Should contact between the machine, staged implements
and an electric power source occur, the following precautions
must be taken:
• Stop the machine movement immediately.
• Apply the park brake, stop the engine.
• Check if you can safely leave the cab or your actual po-
sition without contacting the electrical wires. If not, stay
in your position and call for help.
• If you can leave your position without touching lines, jump
clear of the machine to make sure you do not make con-
tact with the ground and the machine at the same time.
• Do Not permit anyone to touch the machine until power
has been shut off to the power lines.
Keep away from overhead power lines. Serious
injury or death can result. Proceed cautiously
under overhead power lines and around utility
poles. Know the transport height of all your
equipment. Electrocution can occur without
direct contact with overhead electrical lines.
2 - SAFETY INFORMATION
CAUTION

Electrical Storm Safety

Do not operate machine during an electrical storm.
If you are on the ground during an electrical storm, stay away
from machinery and equipment. Seek shelter in a permanent,
protected structure.
If an electrical storm should strike during operation, remain in the
cab. Do not leave the cab. Do not make contact with the ground
or objects outside the machine.

Working at Heights (If Applicable)

Do not stand on surfaces which are not designed as steps or
platforms.
Do not use the machine as a ladder or platform for working at
heights.

Noise Level Safety

There are many variables that affect the sound level range,
including machine configuration, condition and maintenance
level of the machine, ground surface, operating environmental,
duty cycles, ambient noise, and attachments.
Exposure to loud noise can cause impairment or loss of
hearing.
Always wear hearing protection. Wear a suitable hearing
protective device such as earmuffs or earplugs to protect
against objectionable or uncomfortable loud noises.
